20 Most Underrated Horror Movies EVER

11. As Above, So Below

As Above So Below
Universal Pictures

As Above, So Below has the misfortune of releasing in 2014 when mass audiences were in the midst of found footage fatigue, such that they couldn't see past the genre's undeniable oversaturation and dig out the diamonds in the rough.

The film's big selling point is its absolutely stupendous setting - the underground Catacombs of Paris are just perfect for staging a found footage film, and director John Erick Dowdle certainly exploits it for every drop of production value.

The particulars of its narrative may not be up to much, but as an efficient meat-and-potatoes found footage exercise, As Above, So Below delivers the visceral goods primed to zero in on your lizard brain.

Yet despite the mostly negative reviews that plagued it on original release, the film's esteem has grown considerably in recent years since blowing up on Netflix, enough to have garnered its own cult following.
